   • add UML class diagram when necessary
2. The purpose of this trace
3. The test case
4. set a set of break points in files
5. go through each break point and briefly explain the execution flow in source code
   • add sequence diagram when necessary
6. when more details should be understood, point the documents in briefdocument for the reader to follow up.
7. Any Debugging Aids that are already implemented for the topic
8. Sometimes, source code can be copied.
